Zachary Redmond was born on July 26, 1988, in Houston, Texas and grew up in Traverse City, Michigan. He played his college hockey at Ferris State for the Bulldogs and was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the seventh round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft following his first collegiate campaign.

Upon completion of his college career, Redmond would make his professional debut in the American Hockey League for the Chicago Wolves in the late stages of the 2010-11 season.

With the Thrashers relocating to Winnipeg, their AHL affiliate would also have a new home for the 2012-13 season. As such, Redmond would begin the year with the St. John's IceCaps. He would crack the Jets lineup when play ultimately resumed at the NHL level. Appearing eight games for the Jets, scoring his first goal on February 7, 2013, short handed against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

On February 20, 2013, Redmond suffered a serious laceration to his right femoral artery and vein in his mid-thigh during a Jets practice. The injury would keep him out of the Jets lineup for the remainder of the season.

At the conclusion of the 2013-14 season, Redmond left the Jets organization and signed a two year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. After two seasons in the Avalanche organization, which included a 20-point campaign in 2014-15, Redmond became an unrestricted free agent and signed with the Montreal Canadiens on July 1, 2016.

Redmond would split time between Montreal and their AHL affiliate in 2016-17 season. In 16 games for the Canadiens he recorded five points. Prior to the 2017-18 season Redmond was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Nicholas Deslauriers.
